- There is a verse which gives the signs that will foretell the comeing of rain.
The hollow winds begin to blow.
The clouds look black;
The glass is low.
The soot falls down
The spaniels sleep.
And spiders from their cobwebs creep.

Puss on the hearth with velvet paws
Sits wiping o'er her wiskered jaws.
